Memorial Day - Pittsburgh

We made our way to Pittsburgh for the long weekend to attend a wedding of an old friend of ours. We arrived midday Saturday and headed to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium right away. Since we have a zoo membership here at the Minnesota Zoo, we were able to get in for free at the Pittsburgh Zoo. So, not only was it free, but the weather was great and the zoo was fantastic!!

We also made our way past our old houses. Everything looked pretty much the same in Moon Township and the neighborhood looked great! My iris bulbs apparently started to come up and the new owners also put a fence around the big back yard!
I wish I could say the same for the first house we stayed in. We rented that one, but it appeared no one was renting it now. The shrubs were so overgrown, it was actually kind of sad.

The kids kept entertained by the hotel pool, which was a great attraction. With the warm weather, it was great! There were a lot of kids out as well.

Sunday afternoon we made our way over the bed and breakfast where the wedding and reception were to take place. It was great to see Jim, Isaac and Cheryl coming together as a family. Being at a bed and breakfast, it was quite a different wedding than we had been to before, but great, none-the-less. Who doesn't love the Pittsburgh tradition of cookies before cake?

We finally headed home on Monday. It was a great relaxing trip, one that we definitely needed.
